Compression therapy is the mainstay treatment for venous leg ulcers (VLU). The therapy goes beyond merely reducing edema and pain and plays a role in tissue remodeling and preventing recurrence. In the case of VLU, compression leads to the narrowing of veins, restoration of valve competence, and reduction of ambulatory venous pressure, thus reducing venous reflux. In addition, it also helps increase capillary flow, decrease inflammatory cytokines, and lower capillary fluid leakage, thereby alleviating limb edema.
